I have observed many distributors over the years and have noticed a pattern of action when their belief weakens. Here are five of the most common signs and how to avoid them.
1. You give up as soon as it gets a little hard...
This business is no different than any other business in that there are ups and downs. Sometimes it's easy to stay on the front lines and other times it's tough to make progress at the speed you expect. I have even seen distributors that think they just got lucky and sponsored a good builder and it probably won't ever happen again, so they slow down or back off as soon as it gets a little hard. Solution: Remember that success in anything takes courage and action. You have to go out there and make it happen. Success isn't going to just walk up to you and say "I'm here!" Take some kind of action every day that moves you forward.
2. You stay home from Tasting Parties because of bad weather...
When you really believe you can achieve a goal, nothing will slow you down. Once any little excuse will keep you from the process of success, your belief is stumbling. What you are saying is "I want success but I am not willing to work for it." Or... "Why can't I just start at the top without having to work... all of this rejections isn't fair." Solution: The more consistent you can stay with your business the faster it moves. Starting and Stopping is the death to your business.
3. You attempt to succeed without reading, listening and consulting with a moving on upline...
I know... you don't need to read and listen to Cd's... You know what to do, you just gotta do it. This is a common belief that always seems to be held by the person who is not moving forward. This business is a TEAM business. And the success of your business will be in direct proportion to the number of books you read, the number of Cd's you listen to and the amount of accountability to put YOURSELF under. Of course, you'll have to do the work to get there, but you must have the correct mind set, heart and attitude to succeed. Solution: Read everyday. Listen to Cd's and Web Casts everyday. Get plugged in to a moving on Upline and don't let go.
4. You compare your work ethic with someone who is not hitting their goals...
When ever you look around and see others who are not moving forward so you justify your work ethic or lack there of as normal, your belief in your own goals is slowing. Remember, no one else is going to pay your bills. They pay their bills and you pay your bills. So your work ethic has to match with your goals. In order to feel good about your day, you need to work at a pace that is consistent with your goals. Solution: Look at your goals and dreams every night before you go to bed and create a To Do List that will accomplish to goals you have set. Then get up and complete the To Do List. Don't compare yourself to anyone. Just work at the pace that hits your goals.
5. You won't invest in your business...
In business there is an old saying that goes like this, "Never go to market with an empty wagon." First, if you want to build a successful MonaVie business, you must have product. And if you must have product, why not buy it at the lowest possible price. MonaVie designed the bulk order pricing so that we can get the juice at a very reasonable price and even make a retail profit when we sell it! I also see many distributors resist buying the tools they need to move their businesses forward. You don't need tons of tools, but you need enough on hand to handle the number of prospects you are going to introduce the product and the business to. It's just a matter of commitment. If you know you are going to put your heart in your business then your investment must be there also. Solution: Get a bulk order placed so you have juice, get some tools in your trunk, buy some extra tickets to the next event and move them to your team-mates AND look at your goals and dreams every night, write a To Do List that achieves your goals. Do that and you'll join us on the beaches of the world. Mark Carlisle
